The main goals of Rotaract are:

• to support our community through community service projects and volunteering
• to support various charities by fundraising and similar activities
• to learn for our future (professional development), e.g. by inviting speakers to our meetings
• to have lots of fun along the way by meeting new people and generally having a good time.

Rotaract is an international organisation for 18-30 year olds with more than 7,600 clubs in 158 countries around the world. We are part of Rotary International whom you might have heard of previously - for example, they're largely responsible for the eradication of the disease Polio in all but four countries in the world. Rotaract is open to everyone from 18-30 who wants to help, learn and have a good time.

Rotaract and Rotary are specifically not affiliated to any political party, religious group or other ideology.

Right, so what is Rotaract in Edinburgh all about, what kind of projects do we do, and why should you join us?? Well, come and find out! We'd love to see you again at our next meeting.

At our meetings, we'll tell you more about Rotaract, what we've done in the past and our upcoming events and projects. There'll be time to have a drink or two, and to get to know everyone. Also, if you have an idea for a community service project or a charity you want to support, please let us know! Rotaract is really about what we want it to be, so if you have any ideas, that'd be great!
